Hi,

I am seeing the following "fork process error" while using the latest
cygwin version (1.7.16) on Windows 2003 Server(64 bit)

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.2-WOW64 <abc.example.com> 1.7.16(0.262/5/3) 2012-07-20
22:55 i686 Cygwin

$ sh.exe

$ sh.exe
      0 [main] sh 2824 fork: child -1 - forked process 3192 died
unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
1008177 [main] sh 2824 fork: child -1 - forked process 2508 died
unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

The first launch of sh.exe process worked fine. From the second launch
i am seeing this error.
I see a similar issue reported in thread
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00167.html for cygwin
1.7.13/1.7.14
Is the fix for this issue available in cygwin 1.7.16

thanks,
Prakash
